If the Jury were of the opinion that Campbell fell from the balcony, was not possible that, being the worse for drink, he staggered to the verandah, on entering the room, a second time, and fell over?

When you awakened Lucille did she appear to have been asleep?-Yes, she appeared to have been genuinely asleep.
Was Lucille a great friend of yours? As a neighbour we were friendly. Mr. Davis: When Lucille dentined the body did she seem surprised or distressed? No, the showed none of these emotions.

No Direct Evidence Addressing the Jury, Mr. said there was no direct evidence to show how Campbell met his death. All the evidence was circumstantial and from this the Jury were asked to make inferences, but, according to law, unless the circumstantial evid- ence was capable of one inference and one inference only, it became no evidence at pil.
